The \leetiPg.l.l%ing expressed H wish to hear the flepnrt of the General Committee firs!, it was ~..b..;:1)/ read, Had was in substance as Report stated, that the Sob-Committee I . lenagemertt skit extremely allximis to give , ('t•eiV cifert to the vie , 9 of the !'pecial Commit-. tee, appOitreti by the Assembly of Profit iet ors on 'rhe 'Blll of June ; that they had accordingly afford 4-q1 that Committee ready access to all the docit- Theots, aceonn;s, and papers belonging to the Theatre, although at much personal -inco , lve- D i euee ;--that they had made every effort to pro rnre a satisfactory arrangement of the pecuniary difficulties of the. Theatre, and were happy tee he able to inform the Meeting that they had obtained The .consent of three-fourths of the creditors to •compl)sition at the rate of 10s. in the pound, while . the remaining creditors held out in the hope of gaining het;er terms ;—that the Members of the Committee proposed themselves,to advance 45001. for the purpose of liquidating the claims upon the Theatre, and a cotaidero expectation was expres sed that any further sum required might he raised ontong the Members of t h e tw o o th e r Theatres. The Report recommended that the direction and etottroul of the Theatre—the engagement of pertounurs—the appointment of a. Stage Matta gcr, and the selection of new pieces, should be in trusted to George Co:man, Esy :—that with this view,-and in order to serve the cause, by the ser 7 . vices of a Gentleman so peculiarly competent to the undertaking, they had entered ; into a n.egocia tint, with 11r. Co!Man, and had received an an ,swer to their propositions, that Mr. Colman waS . ready to enter into any explanation required as to terms. &c. as soon as the financial difficulties of the Theatre wire removed ;—that if that Gen tleman's services could nor be obtained., the Committee were confident' of being i , ble find another Manager duly qualified;—that al.! though many persons concerned recommended. that the Theatre shOuld not he opened until all financial obstacles were removed. - the •Committee could not accede to the.proptiety of that recomtnendation ;—and, as an earnest of their opinion, that it mighr be snrce”fuliy re-opened at the usual per ind, the Committee were prepared to. advance f: . nm their own private .puckets the stun. of money required tor. the purpose of such re- opening." Mr. POBit then .ttgt... , esled, that the regular. way ival to read the Report of the Select Com nu; tee. helore they con s idered the inoti,m respect ing the Report of the Gencrod Commitree. Sir THus. "ft.7RTON ed .that the Meeting; eoone to some decision on the Report just. read, before any other waS recei ed ; belt nine tvAs over-rukci, and .the following Report of the S e l e ct Cunnni7 tee was read : REPPRT OF 'rHF, SFLUCT COMMITTEE APPOINTED: BY TliP, GPNEHAL AS,iP.MBLY (P PRoPItIRTOES OF 'DKURY-LANE THEATHE, UN THE 811-1 JUNK, 1818 " In obedience to the Resolution of the last General As sernbly,-this ('imin.ittee'inimediately proceeded to adopt tire ntost effectual means, aoil signified to the Sub-Committee of liaaage. , cut their desire to concert measures with them, to prevent the Theatre remaining longer open at the risk of the Proprietors than Could possibly he avoided; in 'which effort , they were enabled to succeed, notwithstanding the Actilig Trustee, who is also a Member of the Board of Nlanagement (aft t7eugh lie intimated his approval of the measures pro posed ou the tOth June, not only signified his refusalito co-' •operate with this Committee in carrying those measures tutu effect, hut, preening to his quitting London cm that even ing. made arraorrnients fir continti . ;tig the Theatre open, in the ritual matiner.ilining his absence, which coutillued about there ' , seeks. By the vigorous and salutary measiires of which tee Jo -matted the . adoption, a loss of near 2,0001. has been at iiiiled by the Prom'iutios;- ~ This Committee have emplord a very considerable por tion of their time in iirgociating, attending, and correspond ing:with 111111imans persons, having undisputed simple con trail claims of upwaids of 101. on the Isheatre, previous to the commencement of the last Sea-oil. .And although many apparently well• founded complaints were made by consider able claimants of the want of courtesy from the Acting Trus-• tee, in 'addition to breaches of engagement and violations of good faith, whereby the difficulties Which this Committee . unavoidably encountered were much increased, and their' uleasures in some instances rendered nearly unavailing they have the eitisfaction to observe, that, except in a few in stances, their exertions were successful, and by the arrange ments, to which the major part of the creditors agreed, a savkg te the Proprietors of about 12,0001. may be now made, and the Theatre thereby relieved from a presktre, which its geleral progressive receipts would he i nadeqoate to discharge, and which presstire, they have great reason to believe, would otherwise he mud) increased by the addition of law charges. " This Committee, also on the 16th inst. transmitted to the General and.Sub-Committees a statement of their pro gress, and suggested, that for the purpose of providing for the immediate payments which had been promised to credi-. tors, and to defray the necessary expellees previous to again opening the Theatre, it was desirable to raise the sum of 17,1)001. as a loan, by subscription, amongst gentlemen who feel interested in the prosperity of the Theatre., upon the debts and securities held by several of such creditors being assigned to the Earl of Yarmouth and Geo. Rubins, Esq., as Trustees for the Subscribers thereto. with all the powers - which those crrditors possess, of compelling payment, /ix. which securities consist of `the refits of the fruit offices and houses belonging to the Proprietors, and ten private tuxes, the profits of which (under agreements from the General or Soli-Committee:, hid recently been receivable by several of those Creditors. This COMmittee also proposed, that Sub scribers, by whom such 17,0001. should be advanced, should accept repayment thereof by instalments, with inter. st ;it 1. per cetit.; and it was also proposed, that on those weeks of future performance, as the revel its of the Theatre stionld prove sniffle rot, after discharging the current expenees, the r am of 1;01. should he appropriated thereout as an additional iorans of effecting payment of such loan, arid that tfe right of one person to the freedom of the Tl,eal re' should lie uttered to each Sobseriber, ill respect of every 500% s,dtanced by bin ; which statement contained an estimate of the supposed animal income to be appropriated f -r repayment, amounting at a moderate computation to 41111. 15s. " This Committee also represented, that as their time had, f, out the period of their appointment, been almost wholly ecipp;ed in obtaining the consents of the numerous Creditors la the proposed arrangement, they had nut hitherto been viabled to direct oriel' of their attention to the attainment of the necessary funds for cunipletiog the above-Ranted ob - Srets; Lint that five of-their owl! Members. and one other 4 , entlemaa, had cmiseuted to advance several sums, amount tweet her to 45001. Anil t his Committee entertained nu e,tion of their alOitv to obtain Stich further stillscriptiOns as inert ase that amount to a moiety of the sum Which the earigencie: of the Theatre appeared immediately to require. • "4 bey therefore trusted that they should not be considered - j,7estt, p more ill expr . essille ! heir hope that the other 'moiety f ie siibscrilsed fiv r or obtained through, the iiiflarner and means of the General and ' This Committee also co-comans:rated tarir unanimous opi conduct, a n d con t rou l o f-the tion, that the s‘cle reg , :!ation, 'theatre and its expendit lire, appointment of Stage-manager, engagement of Performers, and selection of pieces for drama he connued t o George Col man, Esq.; tic.repre,t:tation, should and that this committee were ready and desirous to co-operate with the General and .itin-Commineesin all matters whiel might lie rt•qui•ile, as well for the purpose of investing him with the necessary po,ers, as for completing any arrange mentoftwhich 'nicht he deemed proper for the security of the Suhscribers to the intended Loan, and for effecting all the other .objects 'for which this Committee were ap pointed. which communicat hot no reply has been made by the General or Sub-Committees, althoti:;11 each of those Com mittees met iminediately,after such statement was delivered to their Secretary. " This Committee are of opinion that the present gratsii• tons Free List, and Privilege of giving Admissions to the Theatre; may be properly so reduced as that the number of Free Admissions shall be less, when ill, rights of nomination s►re• exert by the New Subscribers, th4n it was during the last Seaori. " This Committee bare great regret in observing that their endeavours to obtain a compromise of the several following consi.leranle claims lyive proved lll)arailing . , viz.-- 1 ~t,tl7 0 0 die to Mr. Arnold, 9k) 15 1(1 — Francis, • 707 4 3 'rhos's. Creditors seeming to believe, that by refusing to ac cept the Proposals • 1 , inch have been made, they shall be en.; aided to obtain - more advauthgeous conditions, although if every Creditor had acted on the sante defective principle, it is apparent that. instead of a few.olitaining more heiteficial terms, on payment could be obtained by any. This Com mittee therefore submit, for the consideration and judgment of the Proprittprs, the measures which it may he proper to adopt to prevent those Creditors frost obtaining- greater ad vantages titan the parties who have liberally consented to participate in a proportion of the Losses to which the Pro prietors have been subjected. / " By these arrangements, if carried into effect, this Com- Mitre,. will hare obtained advant,tges forthe Proprietors near ly equal to the Losses which they sustained during the two preceding Seasons, and nearly all the simple-contract debts contracted previous to the last Season will he totally extin guished, and the expellee of law proceedings thereon avoided, Without borthening the Theatrical Receipts with any farther . charge than 101. MI such nights as their amount shall ex coed The expenditure. This Connnittee have also reason to believe that other beneficial atrangemeuts may be effected with the New Renters and Bondholders, whenever the ma nagement and credit of the Theatre is so altered and 'esta blished as to me- it the confidence of the Proprietors and pa tronage of the Politic. " This 6tinotittee hare hitherto heels induced to hope, that notice of the resignations of affthe !Octobers of the Sub-Com- ;Mitre Of Managemeot (except' the Earl of Yarmouth, who has been recently appointed, and whose talents, assiduity,' and taste render hint highly qualified for that office}, wonld . have relieved them front -the painful necessity of recording; their opinion of the utter disqualifications of the four other Gentlemen, of which the Sub-Committee of )Management is constituted. They also hoped, that such resignation, and the int roductioo of other competent fizutlemen, as Members': of the General and Sub-ComMittees, would have prevented the necessity of a statement of airy-particular instances of what this Committee consider mismanagement and miscon duct. But they cannot in jostles- to the Proprietors refrain front observing, that the Debts of . the Theatre have been greatly increased in consequence of the want of a , proper check to the facility of obtaining articles,frotu trades-persons by the different artificers, and others employed in the Theatre, who lace b ee n permitted to exercise the power of ordering materials of such prices, qualities, 'and quantities as they thought. fit. Whilst the resources have been essentially di minished by that general ill management and want of at traction, which has been so long a subject of universal and continued complaint: and also, as this- Committee believe, by. the enormous number of orders for nightly free admissions, which have liven subscribed and issued by the Sub Commits' tee (with the exception of the Earl of Yarmouth), during the' interval in which they have taken on themselves the active management of the Theatre. It is the duty of this Committee also to state, that the coosents of many of the - most. considerable Creditors to ac • cept th e - above-mentioned .terms of compromise have been given, and the Sums which Members of this Committee have offered to siihscribe and obtain have been agreed to, on the express understanding and condition, not only that the The•itre shall not be again opened until the compensations to the Creditors are discharged, - hilt also min the understanding and condition, that the. present Sub-Committee of Manage nwnt. (with the exception of the Earl of Yarmouth ) , will . either resign, or no longer permitted to exercise - their. functions. And this Committee have accordingly thought it right to express their dissent front such Siih-i!ommittee renewing or entering in`o any new engagements with per formers. " This Committee have the satisfaction of acquainting the' Proprietors, that Pascoe Gretifell, Esq. having expressed his inability to devote so much attenti o n as is requisite fur the due performance of the arduous other of a Trustee, has, in consequence of a representation made to him at the instance . of this Committee, in a kind and liberal manner signised his disposition to resign it, in order to enable the Propiirtors to obtain an efficient Trustee in his pine. This Committee, theretanre, submit to the cow-idyl-whin and judgment of the General Assembly 'the propiiety of recommending and re questing the General Committee to appoint a person, to be previously named by the Proprietors, as—a Trustee, when eer the oppOlt unite of such appointment shall occur by the resign,:tion of Ntr. Grenfell, of otherwise. In the Act for re-building the Theatre, ten Gentlemen,. as Members of the first General Committee, were nominated, who were thereby empowered to elect eleven others, so as to complete their innuln.r of it. without any approval or choice by the Proprietors. Those, 21 were then empowered to no minate five of their man Members, as h-Conuittee of management, sal jectto the adoption or rejection of all or any' part of such Sub-Committee of Management, by a General As sembly dt Proprietors,which assembly had the power of appoint- - lug others in the places of any whom they might think proper to reject. And whets any 'Members of those Committees declined, or became disqualified to act, the remaining Ment-' hers of the General Committee, without any reference to the Proprietots, were authorized to chtlf!se a successor to each of sue h Members a ho Si , declined, or became disqualified ; and although a certain number of thelieneral Committee ceased yearly to become Members, thosegeutlemen have been, usually on the nomination of some or one of the 'Tumbling Members of the Committee, re-elected, and the Pr oprietors have never on any sutli occasions Yet exercised their right of choosiog arty gentleman iu opposition to a person proposed by a Mem ber of the existing Committees. Nor have the names of the Sub-Crintroir tee of Management recently been yearly submit ted for the adoption or rejection of the Proprietors, accord ing to the apparent intention of -the Act of Parliament,— Now although there are several Members of the General Com mittee, whom it is highly desirable to cimtinue, this Com mittee recommend to the Propt retort, on all (Wore vacancies, to consider the (truth ications of the different Gentlemen who may In• proposed for their choice, instead of agreeing, as a matter of course, to the re-appointment of some of 'the pre 'writ MentherS." • Air. DENT, a Member of. the General Com mittee, rose to oppose the reception of the latter Report. It was a thing not expected by the Sub Committee ; nor did he think that the conduct ot thwse who had drawn it up was eiiher manly or liononrable. It reflected upon the conduct and Management ot the Sub-Committee, with the ex ception only ot Lord Yarmouth. The Noble Loud, he believed, stould-not be willing to re ceive such a compliment, to the exclusion of his colleagues. This was not at all the way to sup port a falling concern. A house divided against itself could never stood. _ll proceedings of this kind were to go on, he would be better pleased either to sell his shares, or, it he could nut find a purchaser, to throw them up altoge!her. The- Secret _Committee, by this Report, threw off the mask ; they sheaved what their views were ; and, he had no doubt but their proceedings would do more injury to the concern than any thing that had yet occurred. They accused the Sub-Com mittee wits► a n abuse in issuing orders for admis sion. This accusation was made in general terms; it was not put in a tangible shape. Was it meant to he insintwed that the Sub-Committee sold the admissions ? Could it be proved that they abused their privilege in any way i Th e t ru th was , that their situation was, only nne of trtmble. They were not even requited' with thanks for their Inhintry. Th e Select Committee.made it Report before to the Sub-Committee, but it contained no insinuation of blame. It would be easy to refute any charges that• Might be brought against them; they should, hoWever, be made in an opt') and manly way, not by such an underhand proceeding as this. Mr. MORRI3 then moved, that the Report of the Sub-Committee he received, and confirmed, particularly such part of it as,referred to the 3p - pointment of a gentleman for the sole manage ment of the Theatre. • Captain \VATHRN moved, as an amendment to this motion, that the Renort of the Special Com mittee be received and adopted ; that the sum of 17,000/. he raised in the manner therein recom mended ; that the thanks ot the Meeting be given to L'►rd Yarmouth, as a Member ot the Sub- Conionttee, and al:o to Mr. Greofell ; that Mr. Robins be Appointed a Trustee so soon as any va cancy should occur ; that means should be adopt ed for securing the repayment of any itims that might be At present advanced ; and that the Spe cial Comtnittee should have the power of adding to their number. Mr. Roatrrs said, that after the iasinuations which had been thrown out by the Hon, Gent. (Mr. Dent) he felt himself called upon, as a member of the Select Committee, to explain the conduct of himself and his friends. They were accused with acting secretly and dishonourably ill bringing forward the it Report without any pre vious notice to the Sub-Committee of such an in ten' ion. There was no secrecy in their proceed- Jugs. SoHlar.-trom. this being the case, they re quested that their intention might be announced, • and form a part of the advertisement by which the present meeting. was called together. The ap-: plication Was refiised. The - Select Committee could hav e no motive tor toting secretly. • "%Viten they were appointed, there was not a single. person who •expected that the SA-Committee. would continue- in •power.• When the Hon.. Gentleman (Mr. Dent) accused the Special Com-. tnittee with secrecy and dishonourable motives, he slit'lltl recollect by. whom it was attempted to pass secretly through the blouse of Com.mons a Bill, the effect of which would be to take away 101. per cent. from every person who was a...pro prietor, whether poor man, orphan,- or widow. As to the ability of the Seib-Committee to manage the concern, he never entertained but one opinion. They shewe(l their talents by the situation to which the Theatre was reduced. While Covent- Garden had paid off debts to the amount of 100,0001. the Drury-Lane Establishment incurred a debt of 81,000/. Covent-Garden, however, was under the management of only one person, while Drury-Lane was directed by a Committee. But what had that Committee done ? Nothing that he knew of hut to bring ruin on the concerti. It was impossible that Gentlemen, chosen •as they were, could have. the requisite knowledge for conducting theatrical concerns. In two instances, when they had by the experience of one or two years, and by great attention attained, in some degree, to the requisite knowledge, they ceased to be members. One Gentleman was removed its consequence of a few days absence, and another resigned when he saw the dissentious that pre vailed. Lord YARMOUTH begged leave to decline the thanks offered to hint, as he only acted with his colleagues. lie had no claim to their gratitude, • except that of having devoted many hours of his time to the concerns of the Theatre. There were no dissensions among those with whom he acted, nor was he aware of any thing culpable-in their •condoct. He'was sorry that the Report Qt the Committee reflected upon the use they made of their patronage. He had no reason to .sosnect•that any orders were given away from motives of private friendship, 'or with any other view titan to forward the interests of the concern. They were perhaps rather fewer than was to be desired. It could not be athisable to plaCe the entire managemcurof the Theatre in any sLipen diary officer without being subject •to some con froul. It could have no other effect than to in troduce .mutiny into the camp, anti aagiavate the evils which they were desirous to remove. It might be desirable that Proprietors shonln have snore contront over the appointment of Com mittees. Now, however, it was necessary that they should take the law as they found it. It ad mitted, perhaps, of improvement ; but ontil.some change was made by Parliament, it would be •me cessary to regulate their conduct by the Acts as they St anti. Mr. COOKER said, if the present Sub-Commit tee was not w illi ng t o goon(' of office, they would soon have the power of turning them out. If the Theatre was to be opened at the usual time, according to the recommendation •of the Sob- Committee, the consegnence would he, that the creditors would come upon it, and soon oblige them to close again, unless some previous ar rangement was male. Thiele were persons will ing to advance a part of the sum requisite.pre vions to opening, and a moiety of the 17,0001. wonlil, lie had no doubt, be soon raised. This was better than.c:illing upon the credi' ors for a remission ot 10/. per cent. upon their - demands.— Colonel Douglas had lately been put itkomninatiOn as a Trustee. This appointr»eut he should op pose, and he hoped Colonel Douglas wonld decline it when this opposition was intimated. Nothing could be more injiolicions or extravagant than the manner in which the affairs of the Theatre were conducted. Mr. , Burgess received four hundred a-year as solicitor ; and the treasurer six hundred a-year. The number of box orders issued were incredible. - In 37 days they ,anniont ed to 5519, which, al 7s. each, was ;9131. Mr. Burgess, besides his salary as Solicitor, had two silver tickets. Lord Yarmouth did not art like the rest of the Committee. When lie had a pri vate box he sent three guineas for it, and paid, for all his orders, The private boxes were great ly abused, One belonging to a certain gentle man produced him 1931. in a season, while a bet ter. box belonging to the proprietors produced only 241. and that of. the Prince Leopold only 19 guineas. The salaries of the door-keepers were also increased from 2s. a night to ss. The CHAIRMAN beggeol leave to remark, that whatever might he their' opinion as to the policy Of the Acts of Pat Hauteur connected with the eon; cern, they were bound to conform to them. They could not, as he thought, consistently with tbo3l Acts, turn out the Sub-Committee.. Mr. r. k. , ALCRAPT, M. P. expressed an 01 14/ 1 0 that the pres en t C omm itt e e coo ld not rem l b - s longer is the adminivrat ion of the affairs of Theatre. - Whether right or wrong, their managr o ment , had not been successful, and they ()fig ht nr - resign.

Mr. ‘Vmsost expressed his willingness to te; sign. He denied having ever abused the ptivi le g: of granting orders, and said, that the salaries e"ev4; plained of were granted by Mr. Whi t bread 1 1/ very day previous to the lamented clostot l itg.
